UCLA is now 3-0 with all three wins coming by at least 15 points after Thursday's 88-68 victory over San Diego. The Bruins are playing fast, playing well and being led by Lonzo Ball - the freshman point guard who is averaging 15.0 points, 8.3 assists and 7.7 rebounds in a team-high 36.7 minutes per game.
